How  to Make a Mug Cake

When you first got to college, did you ever hearthe warning, “Don’t gain the freshman 15”? I know I was determined to eat healthy, so that that would not happen. This was made more difficult whenever I walked by the the patisserie at my school or when my roommate and I were first introduced to the wonders of Insomnia Cookies (seriously, the person who came up with a cookie place that delivers was a genius). Luckily, I soon found a recipe that satisfied my sweet craving and was extremely low calorie. (Only 80 to be exact.) How do you make this cake you ask? Well here is how. 

Step 1: Gather all of the ingredients. This is a super simple step because all you need is a gallon sized Ziploc bag, a box of angel food cake mix, a box of a cake mix of any type that you desire, a spoon, a mug (or styrofoam cup if you hate doing dishes), water, and a microwave. 

Step 2: Take the Ziploc bag and put the contents of both boxes of cake mix into the bag. You can then zip up the bag and mix it all around with your hand until evenly mixed up. This one bag will last you for months of cakes. 

Step 3: Open up the bag and spoon three spoonfuls of the mix into your mug.

Step 4: Put two spoonfuls of water into the mug. (Add more if the cake appears too dry.)

Step 5: Stir up the mixture until almost all of the powder is gone.

Step 6: Place the mug into the microwave for one minute. 

Step 7: Take the cake out of the microwave and enjoy.

For extra fun, you can add chocolate chips or fruit filling before you bake it, or you can add whipped cream on top for some extra sweetness. Now you will be able to satisfy your sweet tooth quickly, easily and deliciously.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
